There are 2 problems that I see. First, the print statement is missing a close paren. After that, the condition will currently pass if variable != "n" or variable != "N". This will be true every time. In this case, you want the condition to only pass if the input is neither an uppercase nor a lowercase "N". In other words, you want it to pass when variable != "n" and variable != "N". Once these 2 problems are fixed, I believe this code will pass the challenge
